Yangsi

This documentary spans 14 years in the life of Ugyen Tenzin Jigme Lhundrup, who has the luck/misfortune of being named the reincarnation (or "yangsi") of a greatly revered (and long dead) Tibetan Buddhist meditation master. This means training to uphold a centuries-old religious tradition from age four. Yangsi explores the young man's doubts and hesitations along the path to destiny. 82 minutes
